in beijing i was walking down the road and a massive pane of glass fell down in front of me and went SMASH, and I looked up to two workers like 20 stories up being like "awww gently caress did we kill him?" That is the closest I have come to being cut in half, at least.

One time I was making GBS threads in a portapotty after having gorged on probably like, 50 mentos or so. Apparently someone had dumped gallons of diet coke in their because when my poo touched that liquid, it was basically Hiroshima

I almost drowned in a river in Belize, but got pulled out by a guide who was with us. It wasn't much fun and taught me nothing

When I was a kid I was messing around with some friends at a park and decided it would be a good idea to try and hop the six foot chain fence surrounding the place. I climbed up the fence, switched sides then dropped down to the concrete below. Suddenly my coat snagged on the hook part of the fence and basically stopped me from falling, holding me in the air, strangling me. I panicked for a few seconds before one of my friends lifted me up enough for me to get the coat off and fall down to the ground. I was a stupid kid.

I've almost died a number of times. As for near-death experiences, I had one of those as a child when I was smothered by a pillow to unconsciousness. I envisioned the stereotypical vortex tunnel to "the light," which ended up being a terrible world of black space, whose infinite and desolate volume I was forsaken to float around for the rest of eternity. The experience was shaped by a strange blend of human consciousness with endogenous tryptamine-like blissful wonder like a good-near death experience should be.

when I was a kid we had a big trampoline and a volleyball net in our backyard. one day I was bored and I dragged the trampoline under the volleyball net to see if I could do a flip over it. I did a few test jumps and then did a backflip over the net, over the edge of the trampoline, and plowed into the ground like a special olympics pole vaulter. hosed up my shoulder, knocked the wind out of me, and rung my bell pretty good. It was only till I was much older that I realized how close I came to breaking my neck.

I went out for Chinese food, and woke up a week later in a hospital with a broken neck . Apparently I drove into a tree trying to avoid a truck towing a trailer on to my lane, that's as close to death as Ive ever been

A couple times, the most severe of which involved being helicoptered to the nearest trauma hospital. The doctors there told my family they "should make arrangements." They didn't know me very well - within 24 hours I was mobile and being a terrible patient, basically tripping balls from a head injury, hopped up on morphine and repeatedly pulling out my IVs because I wanted to go out for a smoke. I don't remember much of that first week, and have some awesome false memories from it, too.

diabeetz posted:ok but what happened? Did I see a tunnel of light or something, you mean? Nah, just about a 14 hour gap in my memory - I don't remember the injury actually occurring, the helicopter flight, or anything. It's all just a blank. Basically I remember the afternoon in question right up to going to the bar with my girlfriend, and the next thing I know I am waking up under fluorescent lights, intubated and catheterized. First thing I did upon regaining consciousness was to get those removed immediately, in that order.

There was one time I was stuck behind a really long farm trailer with animals on a straight 2 lane road. It was going ~10 miles below the speed limit on a 55 road, and cars kept coming in the opposite direction with enough frequency to keep me from passing it. I was young and annoyed, so after a while I just said gently caress it, put the gas peddle to the floor, and switched lanes to pass it despite another car coming. I thought it was pretty far away, but it kept getting closer and closer as I kept my foot on the floor the whole time. I'm not sure if the trailer or the oncoming car slowed down, but I managed to pass the trailer with about a half-second to spare before I would've hit other guy head on. I spent the rest of the ride home shaking.

Attacked by an elephant in open top Land Cruiser in South Africa. What they say is true, strangely peaceful and in slow motion. I have a picture that my brother's friend took right before we realized it might kill hanging in my bathroom. Three Olives fucked around with this message at 04:55 on May 12, 2015 |

Every time I drive there are cars coming in the opposite direction that pass pretty close to me. If they hit me I'd probably die. Does this count? If so, yes, lots of times. e: also I got salmonella as a baby and Mum took me to the hospital but the doctors just assumed my Mum was being a whiny bitch so sent me home and I almost died.
